<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Are applicants suppose to declare anywhere on the MIT application that they are seeking financial aid? On the admissions website it says MIT calculates need based on information from CSS/FAFSA forms, but is that all we have to do (submit the form) to let MIT know that we're applying for aid? I didn't find like a check box on the application where it asks you whether you're applying for aid.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Nope, the application process is need blind. However if financial issues somehow greatly impacted your life you could include so in your essays and in the optional section.</p>
